A Black Trans woman known for her way with words, Powell shares her experiences on a wide range of issues faced by many Black Trans women, including abandonment and betrayal, physical and sexual assault, poverty, sexism and misogyny. "Black Trans people are being erased daily. We are being executed, discriminated against, policed and ostracized...and it’s being overlooked and ignored. The state of Black Trans lives is indeed a critical State of Emergency, as with the neglect and improper handling of mental health and wellness in our communities," states Powell. The author also examines various cultural, spiritual, metaphysical and psychological topics through what she coins as, “confessional poetry.” The collection of poems is an organic, honest and profound retelling of Powell's experiences as a Black Trans woman overcoming mountains of adversity in today’s society. Powell also modernizes the classic haiku and makes it her own, by adding the richness of her culture through the use of colloquiums and AAVE (African-American Vernacular English). Expertly weaving together the worlds of art, revolution and literature, Powell creates a mindfully stimulating experience that will leave you speechless and wanting more.
